THIS ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITY IS NOW CLOSED. 

Thank you to the people who have contributed. 

We asked people:

What is Domiciliary Care?

Domiciliary care, also known as homecare, is the delivery of a range of personal care and support services to individuals in their own homes.

Overview 

NHS Sheffield Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) has started going through a formal process to find three main providers of domiciliary care services across Sheffield for patients eligible for continuing healthcare.  The CCG are keen to ensure that the service will meet the needs of people across Sheffield and provide value for money.

What do you want from me?

The CCG recognises that the valuable knowledge and experiences of the patients and their carers who use these services is second to none. It therefore makes sense that patients and carers are given the opportunity to be part of the decision making on finding new providers for their service. We would like to offer you the chance to be part of the team that evaluates the potential providers of local domiciliary care services.   The role will involve attending an initial briefing session, scheduled meetings and reading through and helping to evaluate the formal bids from those wishing to provide the service.

Purpose of Patient/ Carer Representative Role:

To give a patient/ carer perspective to the evaluation of prospective providers of local domiciliary care services for patients eligible for continuing healthcare across Sheffield.
